Satellites & Streetlights

Verse 1

There’s a crack in the ceiling where the night leaks through

And the city’s still whispering things about you

I got your name on the tip of my tongue again

Like a secret I’m scared to defend

There’s a bruise on my heart in the shape of your laugh

And a trail of fire in the photographs

We were infinite, we were just kids in the dark

Drawing constellations on scars

Pre-Chorus

We said forever like we had the time

Like the sun wouldn’t dare to rise

Chorus

Now we’re just satellites

Spinning in lonely lights

Calling across the sky but the signal’s gone

We were a wildfire

Burning our names higher

Now I’m just learning how to move on

And all I know tonight

Is I still look for you

In every streetlight

Verse 2

There’s a song on the radio you used to hate

Now I play it on endless repeat anyway

’Cause it hurts and it heals in the very same breath

Like I’m closer to you in the mess

And I walk past the place where you said goodbye

Where the world kept turning but I stayed behind

I was frozen in words that I couldn’t change

Now there’s only echo and space

Pre-Chorus

We said forever like we’d never fall

Now I’m talking to no one at all

Chorus

Now we’re just satellites

Spinning in lonely lights

Calling across the sky but the signal’s gone

We were a wildfire

Burning our names higher

Now I’m just learning how to move on

And all I know tonight

Is I still look for you

In every streetlight

Bridge

Maybe in another life

We collide at the perfect time

No goodbyes, no tears to hide

Just you and I

But this is where our story ends

Two broken hearts, two different winds

I let you go, I let you win

Final Chorus

We were just satellites

Drifting to different nights

I hear your voice but it fades to blue

You were my wildfire

My only, my entire

Now I’m just someone you once knew

And all I know tonight

Is I’ll stop chasing you

Past every streetlight

Outro

There’s a crack in the ceiling where the night leaks through

And for the first time… I don’t see you

If you want, I can tailor it to a specific genre (pop, rock, rap, indie, sad, happy, Eurovision-style, etc.) or even match a certain artist vibe.
